“Junior brother, I won’t be able to take care of you in a while. Be careful on your own,” said Meng Ruyan.
“Don’t worry, senior sister. You can find a way to escape. Don’t worry about me,” replied Lu Yuan.
Hearing Lu Yuan’s words, Meng Ruyan did not say anything else.
In her opinion, the current situation was extremely dangerous.
There were over a hundred Paper Man with Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation and three cultivators with Pseudo Core Stage.
It was even more ridiculous that there was an enemy who had reached the second transition of the Core Formation Stage.
With such an enemy, wanting to rush out was undoubtedly very difficult.
At least, that was how Meng Ruyan thought.
She believed that, if she used all her hidden skills, she could barely reach the cultivation of the Core Formation Stage.
However, such an outburst might not necessarily be enough to contend with Shen Xuan.
Fortunately, she was not alone now.
Zhuang Yangbing might not know Lu Yuan’s strength, but Meng Ruyan knew a little about it.
She knew very well that her Practitioner partner had never truly displayed his full strength.
Even Lu Yuan did not know what level he had reached.
However, even if he couldn’t reach the level of the Core Formation Stage, he should be able to barely reach the Pseudo Core Stage.
As for Zhuang Yangbing, Meng Ruyan felt that he was not weaker than her.
As if in response to Meng Ruyan’s words, Zhuang Yangbing stopped pretending and revealed his all strength!
“Roar!”
Accompanied by a roar, the phantom of a giant snake appeared behind Zhuang Yangbing.
Immediately after, Zhuang Yangbing’s body began to change rapidly.
First, his height skyrocketed to three meters.
Then, many snake scales began to appear on his body.
However, upon closer inspection, it was evident that Zhuang Yangbing’s transformation was not just a simple snake transformation.
Two small dragon horns had emerged from his head.
Sharp claws also materialized on his limbs.
The demon bloodline that Zhuang Yangbing had absorbed was a snake demon that was about to transform into a flood dragon.
With the help of the Blood Demon transformation, Zhuang Yangbing’s aura instantly rose to the level of the Core Formation Stage.
The Fish Scale Blood Water Spike in his hand also turned into a three-foot-long sword with the enhancement of the demon blood.
Looking at the fish scale sword that seemed to have been made from the scales plucked from Zhuang Yangbing’s body, Lu Yuan quickly guessed the origin of this magic item.
If his guess was correct, Zhuang Yangbing accidentally discovered the corpse of a snake demon.
After that, not only did he absorb the bloodline of the snake demon, but he even used the snake demon’s reverse scale to craft a magic item.
This magic item was not only incredibly powerful but also considered Zhuang Yangbing’s natal magic item due to its shared origin.
Only in his hands could the fish scale sword display its true power.
If Zhuang Yangbing had a stroke of luck, the fish scale sword might even transform into a dragon scale sword.
With such strength, he was only ranked 15th on the Mortal Rank.
It was indicated how much strength Zhuang Yangbing had hidden.
Meng Ruyan was also shocked by Zhuang Yangbing’s transformation.
This squinty-eyed man who had always been smiling had hidden so much strength!
As Zhuang Yangbing became serious, his eyes sharpened as he looked at Shen Xuan, who was nearby and said, “Fellow Daoists, let’s use all the hidden skills we have.”
“As long as we can get through this, we will all be safe.”
Lu Yuan and Meng Ruyan nodded, indicating that they would not hold back in the current situation.
Shen Xuan, who was not far away, was surprised and interested after seeing the changes in the three cultivators.
The strength of these three cultivators, except for that pretty boy who seemed to be a little weak, the remaining two were quite impressive.
Thinking of this, Shen Xuan waved his hand and said, “Go ahead.”
The hungry and thirsty ghosts immediately rushed toward Lu Yuan and the other two.
Faced with the attacking hundred ghosts, Zhuang Yangbing and Meng Ruyan rushed forward to attack them.
“Roar!”
Zhuang Yangbing roared in anger, and a shockwave that seemed tangible exploded in the group of ghosts.
This roar not only contained the attack of spiritual energy but also the pressure of a half-dragon.
In an instant of applying the cultivation technique, six or seven ghosts died on the spot, turning into the paper that filled the sky.
Meng Ruyan was also doing well.
She had used some secret technique that caused her entire body to carry the power of heavenly thunder.
In addition, there were many peach petals floating around Meng Ruyan.
These peach petals were not just beautiful.
Each petal carried the terrifying power of heavenly thunder.
Relying on these petals, even if Meng Ruyan did not do anything, she could still pose a huge threat to the surrounding ghosts.
They were facing Meng Ruyan and Zhuang Yangbing, who were unleashing their full power.
Only the Foundation Establishment Stage ghosts were not enough to pose a threat.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived in front of Shen Xuan.
At the same time, they launched their attack on Shen Xuan.
“Divine ability…Blood Sword Technique!”
“Divine ability…Extreme Purple Heavenly Lightning!”
Facing the powerful attacks of the two, Shen Xuan simply raised his hand and a paper fan appeared in front of Shen Xuan and blocked their attacks.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, a surge of spiritual energy swept through the area.
The two figures took advantage of the explosion and immediately rushed toward the passage behind Shen Xuan.
Strangely, Shen Xuan had no intention of pursuing them.
In an instant, Meng Ruyan and Zhuang Yangbing rushed into the passage and disappeared from the courtyard.
This way, only Lu Yuan remained in the courtyard.
Shen Xuan looked at Lu Yuan, who had been standing in the same spot since the beginning.
“Why didn’t you attack me just now?” Shen Xuan asked curiously.
Faced with Shen Xuan’s question, Lu Yuan asked, “Then why didn’t you attack them?”
Hearing this question, Shen Xuan was stunned.
Then, the smile on his face became brighter.
“Interesting. You can tell?”
Lu Yuan nodded. He casually threw away his Mountain River Painting and set up a Nine Guard Return to Origin Array around his body.
Relying on this array, although the surrounding ghosts continued to attack Lu Yuan, they were unable to harm him in the slightest.
Lu Yuan looked at Shen Xuan and smiled, “If I’m not mistaken, you shouldn’t be able to attack us casually, right?”
In response to Lu Yuan’s words, Shen Xuan only smiled and didn’t say anything.
However, many times, silence meant many things.
“I have been thinking that the situation in this Ghost City is very abnormal no matter how I look at it,” said Lu Yuan.
“Ghosts don’t have much hostility towards cultivators. Many seemingly hopeless places have a way out,” Lu Yuan continued. “In my opinion, this doesn’t seem like a hopeless situation at all. It’s more like a test. If I’m not wrong, this path to immortality… It starts now, right?”
Shen Xuan’s expression finally changed upon hearing this.
He looked at Lu Yuan and sized him up. Finally, he said, “I have to say, you’re indeed very clever. When did you figure this out?”
“I realized it the moment 1 saw the King of Hell,” Lu Yuan replied with a smile. “Oh? Why?”
Lu Yuan took out the Mountain River Medallion from his storage bag and said, “Because it…is too weak.”
As he spoke, Lu Yuan threw out the Mountain River Medallion in his hand.
In the next second, the Mountain River Medallion, which looked like an official seal, began to grow continuously.
It finally stopped growing after it had enlarged to 20 meters.
Shen Xuan could feel the astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the Mountain River Medallion.
Shen Xuan’s eyes lit up with strong interest.
“Amazing, really amazing. You can use the Mountain River Medallion to this extent. You’re indeed the most interesting one among the three.”
When faced with Shen Xuan’s praise, Lu Yuan’s expression did not change much.
He controlled the Mountain River Medallion and slowly lowered it down.
The Mountain River Medallion’s surface emitted a large amount of golden light, resembling a falling mountain of gold.
Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that Lu Yuan had inscribed intricate arrays onto the Mountain River Medallion.
The function of these arrays was very simple. They were used to strengthen the hardness of the Mountain River Medallion!
However, to use such a Mountain River Medallion, the cultivator would need to possess a high level of the divine soul and object-control ability.
Luckily, Lu Yuan excelled in both of these areas.
A fake array master would use magic item to set up an array and hide to trick people.
A real array master would use an array to strengthen a magic item and use it to attack people!
